Soft, fluffy, and naturally gluten-free, these Gluten Free Potato Bread Rolls are the ultimate comfort food upgrade! Built on the starchy magic of mashed potatoes, these rolls boast a tender, pillowy crumb that stays incredibly moist. A blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour and tapioca starch, paired with xanthan gum, ensures a perfect texture, while warm milk, olive oil, and eggs enrich the dough with subtle flavor and elasticity. With a quick rise thanks to instant yeast, these rolls are ready in just under an hour and a half, making them an ideal choice for weeknight dinners, festive gatherings, or meal prepping. Bake them to golden perfection, and finish with a buttery glaze for extra indulgence. Whether served warm from the oven or room temperature, these versatile rolls are a must-try, gluten-free delight!
1. Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain them and mash into a smooth puree. Let cool to room temperature.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
3. Add the mashed potatoes, eggs, olive oil, and warm milk to the dry mixture. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment or a wooden spoon, mix until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
4. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Lightly oil your hands to handle the sticky dough. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each piece into a roll. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
7. Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed up.
8. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden crust.
9. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
